Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Rembrandt, oh my! A visit to one of the world’s largest and most diverse museums is both daunting and enlightening. A medieval fortress turned royal residence, the last century has seen the Musée du Louvre shrug off its former lives, standing proud as a mecca for culture, history, and the arts. With finds dating from the prehistoric to the Romantic and everything in between, the Musée du Louvre is the ultimate playground for creatives and art enthusiasts. Rambling across four levels, three wings and through delightful alfresco courtyards, this former royal palace is a site to see in itself; it’s interiors toeing the line between the royal Renaissance-style and the clean lines of contemporary design. Modern updates like the museum’s famous glass pyramid just add to this site’s unique character that continues to draw visitors from far and wide.

Our tips for The Louvre

If in doubt, try the back entrance. Queues are constant at the Louvre’s Pyramid entrance. Head to the Louvre tickets entrances in the Carousel du Louvre shopping centre and the Passage Richelieu (open daily except on Tuesdays) for quicker admission.

Have a game plan. There’s more than 35,000 artworks showcased in the Louvre. Make sure you map out the sections you really want to see on your Louvre tours, so you don’t miss out on anything.

There’s more to the Louvre than the Mona Lisa. Find her, snap her, and move on. There’s plenty to see at this grand museum, and the constant throng of crowds and selfie sticks that surround her make hanging around the Mona Lisa impossible.

Good to know

Best Time To Visit
The world’s largest museum is perpetually booming, with crowds reaching their peak in the summer months of June to September. December and January promises a quieter Louvre, while Wednesday or Thursday afternoons – when the museum stays open until 9.45pm – also sees crowds lessen.

Getting There
With the city’s well-connected and budget-friendly transport, getting to the museum on time for your Louvre tours couldn’t be easier. The Palais Royal - Musée du Louvre metro station on line 1 drops travellers within walking distance of the museum, while many buses service the area. Taxi ranks and parking stations mean travelling by car is a viable option also.

Money Saving Tips
Strapped for cash? Don’t fret, during the off-season of October to March, Louvre tickets are free! On the first Sunday of each month, there are no entrance fees for this legendary landmark. An all-inclusive Paris Pass combining transport and top attractions is also a great way to get extra bang for your buck.

Impress your fellow travellers with these interesting titbits about the Musée Du Louvre

During WW2, when Nazi occupation of Paris was imminent, French authorities cleared the Louvre of all it’s prized artworks. Pieces were taken to various locations in the French countryside, stored, and hidden for the war’s duration. Upon German occupation, the Nazi’s used the Louvre to store their own stolen art.

It would take all of 100 days to view every piece of art in the Louvre for just thirty seconds.

The Musée du Louvre’s was first constructed as a fortress in the 12th century. The site was then rebuilt as a royal residence in the mid-16th century, finally transformed into a national museum in 1793.
